Configuring DB2 Connect EE, ASE or UE to Support Siebel Developer Web Client

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up DB2 Connect.

Using DB2 Connect EE to support the Siebel Developer Web Client involves:

• A computer on which you install DB2 Connect EE, to act as a gateway to the database. This computer can be a Siebel Server machine or a separate machine.
• DB2 for z/OS.
• A Siebel Developer Web Client workstation.

This configuration enables a high volume of concurrent network transactions between the Siebel Developer Web Client and the DB2 Connect EE Server machine. This approach combines elements from the middle and lower configuration options shown in Figure 1.

To connect to DB2 using DB2 Connect EE

1. Using vendor instructions, install DB2 Connect EE on a gateway machine.

   The DB2 Connect EE Server machine functions as a DB2 server, with protocol support for DB2 for z/OS.

2. On the DB2 Connect EE Server, upgrade DB2 Connect EE to the appropriate Fix Pack. See Installing Required IBM Fix Packs for further information.
3. On the DB2 Connect EE Server machine, catalog your DB2 for z/OS database, as appropriate, using the DB2 Client Configuration Assistant or the DB2 Command Line Processor.

   After installation, use a standard DB2 client to access the DB2 Connect EE Server.
